Looking for real connection, friendship, and fun with like-minded people in Nashville?
We’re a welcoming, tight-knit community that happens to love sword fighting.
Sunday at 12 PM at Elmington Park we gather to fight, learn, and hang out. You don’t need experience. You don’t need gear. You don't even need to fight. Just show up and come see what we’re all about.
Some of us are here for fitness. Some for fantasy. Some for friendship. Many for all three.
Why check us out?
🧠 You don’t have to be a fighter to belong
We have artists, gamers, introverts, extroverts, and everyone in between. Whether you want to battle, craft, socialize, or just be part of something fun we’ve got space for you.

We use padded, impact-safe weapons and teach everything from the ground up. You’ll learn at your own pace, with people excited to help you grow.

More than anything, we’re a community. New to town? Looking to make friends? You’ll find open arms and good people here.

EQUINOX XXXIII: The Great Hunt
Montgomery Bell State Park, Montgomery County, Burns, TN, USThe banners of the Twilight Citadel have long stood against the darkness beyond its walls. Through war, plague, and the turning of ages, its people have endured.
Now, a new shadow gathers.
From the forgotten wilds and ruined places beyond the reach of civilization comes the Great Hunt, a growing cult devoted to ancient and terrible Dread Gods. Their ranks swell with zealots, fanatics, and warriors who have surrendered themselves to the influence of Miasmic visions: a force that whispers promises of power, purpose, and transcendence.
The Great Hunt marches upon Dur Demarion to conquer and convert all who stand in its way.
Those who embrace the Hunt are welcomed into its ranks and granted the favor of the Dread Gods. Those who refuse face a darker fate.
As the Twilight Citadel braces for war, every fighter must choose their path.
Will you stand beside the defenders of Dur Demarion and drive back the encroaching darkness?
Or will you heed the call of the Great Hunt, swear yourself to the Dread Gods, and help usher in a new age beneath their shadow?
The Hunt has begun.
